ClearCube Technology’s Sentral 5.6 Enterprise Management Suite is developed by FiveRivers Technologies, out of Lahore, and has been improved year after year for the past 4-5 years. FRT has been working with Clearcube for awhile now and the FRT team builds most of their enterprise management software products that compete with the likes of HP, VMware, IBM Tivoli, etc.
This year, Clearcube entered Sentral into the VMware’s VM World 2007 and won the award for best Desktop virtualization software, over, yes OVER VMware workstation.

VM World is one of the most important and well known enterprise IT computing conferences in the world right now.
This is probably the biggest PR win for any Pakistan software company this year. It proves that we can,and do, build world class software in collaboration with partners and customers anywhere in the world. Kudos and congrats to Clearcube and FiveRivers and the teams for a job well done.
